Political Zing!s

When one half of us fight the other half, who will fight the enemy of both halves?

California abortion case seems to be a win-lose situation for both sides. I like that.

I know students n Parkland that want to march against the system that failed them but are being ignored by the media.

If the system put in place didn't fail, Cruz never would have been able to buy guns. Where's the outrage about that.

Columnist Leonard Pitts often seems to be an equal opportunity, and on target, criticizer.

Vladimir Putin considers the NRA a useful tool to fool fools.

That's the problem: The requirements for being a political candidate are so few and so low.

Are sea turtle researchers global warming co-conspirators?

Celebrate the good. Condemn the bad. Be Happy!

After "Lisa's" deceitful editorial cartoon on Monday, you may as well change your name to the Tallahassee Republican

As Trump loses his original "training wheel" aides in the White House, we may wish for "restraining wheel" aides to replace them.

Why is Tallahassee Animal Services offering for adoption an "older" male dog with a "prey instinct" that does not tolerate anyone "getting in his face?"

Since the President has given far more money to Hillary and other Democrats in the past than everyone in Mueller's probe combined, I guess he's part of the group pushing the investigation into himself.

No !! Just a fan who thinks Coach Sue deserves more !!

Can we dispense with the fiction and just call him Dictator Putin?

You can almost smell the fear in Donald's tweets.

Is President Duterte (Philipines) going to be the model for U.S. drug abuse enforcement

Nursing homes will not be providing rides to the polls this year with a elderly Bill of Rights up for a vote.

Why wouldn't smart business people who were going to build an outlet mall (that has never happened) take advantage of a good location in the Tallahassee Mall? You don't have to build it for "people to come"!!

Donald Trump took an oath to defend this country and he has not done his job...He needs to go.

Noles win! Noles win! Noles win!

Outstanding live weather reporting by WTXL's Alex Cordero during the early Monday storms.

Hiring resource officers that have never been in combat and expecting them to charge into a shooting situation is a guess at how they will react.

The elites trade in gold, oil, drugs and children. WTFU.

Who knew. They moved Torreya State Park across the Apalachicola River to Jackson County.

You know, it is time we kill the deep state.

He speaks your language Pitts. Embrace your brother.

Gun laws only treat the symptoms not the root cause of the disease.

Austin bomber(s) seem to have EOD training and experience.

Gun laws do little to protect students from shootings or danger it takes school entrance security like airports to prevent guns, knives, drugs and alchol from entering schools.

Conservatives play by the rules. Progressives want to rewrite the rules.

There are lots of pressing issues these days with porn stars, Russia and shootings but can we address a local issue: Just because you stop BEHIND the car in FRONT of you at a four-way stop does not mean you just blow through the sign. I almost became someone's t-bone steak.

Melania. #cantwait.

Can we at least change the title from 'Resource Officer' to 'Armed Guard'?

Tawdry Trump gets more tawdry. Stormy spring?

See something, say something. Your yard is too green, dear neighbor.

What book of the Bible covers paying off your porn star mistress evangelicals?

No matter what you want to call it....If it looks like an assault weapon and shoots like an assault weapon, it is an assault weapon. At the moment the AK-15 is the weapon of choice for people that want to kill people.

Kudlow as Trump's new economic advisor--he was the guy who kept saying everything was fine when we were falling into the Great Recession; he even denied it when we were in the middle of it.

As a Democrat, Trump donated money seven times to Hilliary. Lock him up!

The McCabe situation has become tainted--Trump has politicized McCabe's firing to discredit him and, by extension, to discredit Mueller and the FBI.

Finally, a four-star general says what I've been saying for over a year--Trump is a threat to our national security.

For those who aspire to the virtues of color-blindness generally, and of Dr. King specifically, Leonard is -- most assuredly and evidently -- the Pitts.

Donald Trump wants to do something bigger than Kissinger, Nixon, or Carter and his deplorable will pay the price. God help us.

Amazing Marco. Now he's an expert on bridge engineering. What's next?

You can't claim to be savvy at business in one breath then claim to not know what has gone on in another. Which is it Kushner?

I wonder if Rabbi Romberg is proud of the endorsement of Gary Whittenberger.

It may be the only time in human history that children are considered to be wiser than adults.

This President and his administration have been such a travesty. I hope he soon will be escorted out of the White House, and in handcuffs!

Yeah right, an AR-15 is not an assault weapon like water boarding is not torture.

Where do you Florida water clowns get the false idea that God did not give Georgia the right to control its water?

I'm very Impressed with The Dump's selection of paramours over the years; Stormy Daniels is a perfect "Ten."

If you change stores into office rentals, you will kill the "centre of Tallahassee". Soon, people will not come to the few stores remaining and the mall as we know it will die and be just like what was once a downtown in Tallahassee or even Northwoods Mall and be of no interest to shoppers.

I think the streets near Leon High need speed bumps. We have them on Richview Road, South Ride and North Ride. and it sure helps keep the neighborhood speeders in check.

Why doesn't Leon High have a closed campus? Time to keep the kids on school grounds until dismissal time. I too have tried to drive in the neighborhood at lunch time and couldn't believe the fast and crazy driving. It is an accident waiting to happen EVERY day.

The crime with McCabe has nothing to do with fbi firing the crime is retiring at $5000.00 a month when you are 49 years Old and the average American tax payer retires at 65 at $1100.00 a month

Even though Trump is off the rails, he is better than Obama or Hillary.

Why don't decent people run for public office?

Andrew, it has nothing to do with the color of your skin, it is your lack of character.

Sorry but, America means freedom for "Americans." Religion or nationality has nothing to do with it. You should try reading the Constitution sometime.

I'm past ready for football season to begin!

It's a new week so cabinet members are putting on fresh chap stick so they won't get fired.

Referees are like politicians by the way they show favoritism to certain teams.

In 2013, while being run by Jared, the Kushner Cos. routinely filed false paperwork with the city declaring it had no rent-regulated tenants in dozens of buildings it owned when it had hundreds. Maybe he can get his Dad's old cell.

I have reason to believe that Donald Trump and his family were murdered 3 years ago and replaced with Russian lookalikes and that's at least as believable as most things the President says.

A nutcase or gang member or thief without a gun cannot shoot anybody.

"In God We Trust" is false. "We put our Trust in the Scientific Method" or "With Facts and Reason, We Solve Problems." These mottos should be plastered on the walls of our schools.

If the Centre of Tallahassee don't get something moving towards more redevelopment, it won't last another 3 years.

The rich and arrogant, a perfect definition of Donald Trump.

What does non-partisan mean? Being a Democrat or Republican says something to me, I want to know what label the candidate chose when I vote.

A "Great Day for Democracy" is a day of infamy for the White House.

He said he likes Chaos, Well he has got plenty of it !!!

I'm surprised there weren't protesters shouting about diversity and xenophobia during the St. Paddies parade

Once you find out who Putin "crossed"-- you'll see how much power they have over everything

"Criminal justice reformation" is not about stopping any crime-- but will give criminals another chance to commit more crime (and vote Democrat in the meantime).

When is Trump going to release his NCAA brackets? So un-American. Sad.

On behalf of all outside developers paving small southern places, thank you Sue for the great opinion piece. The tree lovers and natives now know they've been Dicked again.

Since it seems to be the "thing" today, does Congress know they can "fire" the President?

The state has been scavenging the carcasses of malls and outlet malls for over thirty years.

I miss the artist's rendition of Gaines St.

Isn't "In Allah We Trust" just another way of saying "In God We Trust"?

Sue Dick's opinion piece is a hard core version of beauty is in the eyes of the donor. But unfortunately greed over green is still industrial strength ugly.

Since former President Clinton was forgiven for his extramarital affairs before and during his Presidency and the women involved were vilified it is very hypocritical to obsess over Trumps 10 year old affair .

Since "Allah" means God to Muslims ,they wouldn't necessarily be insulted by the phrase "In God We Trust".

In Russia, hacking computers is not allowed.

Man, if only those Centre of Tallahassee developers had gotten CRA funding, that place would be totally revitalized by now.

President Trump knows democracy dies in darkness that's why he is trying to turn out the lights.

Over 3000 confirmed lies and misleading statements in his first year and admitted that made up "facts" when talking to the Canadian PM, and we should believe him why?

If you don't like and appreciate the amount of money you get from the public coffers refuse to take it.

The first time a student quotes a fake news media source, as fact, they need to be chastised and corrected.

FBI caught lying so now they will tell all about the 'deep state' Obama left behind? Or just another lie.

Since currently daylight savings time is in force for eight months of the year, how could Florida be out of sync with the rest of the east coast for eight months if we go on permanent daylight savings time? Doesn't anyone read these columns before they are published?

Still having a hard time getting my head around the fact that a clown, a crazy person, an unqualified person, can commit and hide collusion among many other accusations from the smartest investigators In our government. Time to quit wasting our taxpayer money and move forward in a positive manner together!

"Why do birds suddenly appear?" It's springtime in Tallahassee.

Something tells me UMBC's coach Ryan Odom will have a much higher salary and a new school next year.

Graham has been awfully quiet lately. Is she still running for Governor?

Can't wait for McCabe's book to come out.

Suspicion confirmed: God and Allah ARE different.

Since we can't disarm evil, let's stop paying for TSA to hassle us and rent airport space to gun sellers.

Am I an atheist if I do not believe in Allah?

Remember this classic tune from the 1950's? "Just in time, I fired you just in time". Melody and lyrics by Donald Trump.

The all seeing eye network claims the most original reporting but a check on the alphabet and peacock networks shows they're all reading from the same script.

Henry VIII had a simple solution for silencing his detractors. I get the feeling Trump wishes he could do the same.

Keep hitting the FBI with a stick, Donald. I'm sure they'll just back off and leave you alone. Crazy train just keeps on rolling . . .

There is no one better than Tom Brokaw to present a 1968 retrospective because delivered the original propaganda fifty years ago.

No, we can't ban guns, knives, spears, cars, trucks, box cutters and stones, but we can and should ban military style rifles and high capacity magazines.

We don't need no stinkin trees.

"Evil" the reason for the surge in mass murders? What's changed is the universal and instant access to high-casualty weapons of war.

This country was not founded on Allah. It was founded on God and Christianity.

Who was it that called Trump a "Huckelberry" or was it a "Dingleberry" ?
